Premium Economy Class passengers usually enjoy a higher allowance than Economy Class. Business Class and First Class customers can check in additional or heavier pieces. For all cabins, you may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your booking details for confirmation.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Johannesburg to Indonesia once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet.

Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most flights from Johannesburg to Indonesia connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join the free city transit tours when available, or explore attractions such as indoor gardens, walking trails, and rest areas. Shorter layovers are well spent airside, where you will find showers, quiet zones, family facilities, and a wide range of dining and shopping. Airport hotels and paid lounges offer extra comfort if you prefer a private space. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg operates on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) year-round. Jakarta and most of Java, including Surabaya, use Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), which is 5 hours ahead of Johannesburg. Denpasar Bali and much of central Indonesia use Central Indonesia Time (UTC+8), 6 hours ahead. Medan follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), also 5 hours ahead. Indonesia does not observe daylight saving time, so these differences remain constant throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Indonesia when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Indonesia, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
